1. Introduction 1. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to provide the Government of Tajikistan
with a $120 million Grant to upgrade and rehabilitate the Dushanbe-Uzbekistan Border road.
The Project will entail Land Acquisition and Resettlement (LAR) impacts and its preparation
requires the preparation of two Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plans (LARP) fitting ADB’s
Resettlement Safeguards and approved by the Government. LARP1 will be finalized in February
2011 and implemented in the following 3 months. LARP2 will be finalized around mid 2011 and
implemented by the end of the year. Based on the requirements of ADB resettlement
safeguards the implementation of these LARPs will have to be monitored by an external
monitoring agency (EMA) to be carried out in two phases:
a) phase one will focus on the monitoring of the actual implementation of the LARP
compensation program and will include the preparation by the EMA of a compliance
report based on which ADB will provide no objection to the start of civil works;
b) phase two, to be carried out one year after the implementation of the LARP will be
devoted to a broad evaluation of the degree to which the rehabilitation of the Affected
Parties (AP) has been achieved.

2. To satisfy the above requirements the Executing Agency—the Ministry of Transport and
Communications (MOTC) is seeking the services of an independent consultant, acceptable to
ADB and the Government, to act as the EMA for phase one of the external monitoring of
LARP1
18
. Terms of Reference (TOR) for these tasks are detailed below.

2. Scope of Work 3. External monitoring of the Project will be based on (i) the procedures and guidelines of ADB
as set out in the Handbook on Resettlement (Manila, 1998); (ii) relevant laws, policies, and
regulations in Tajikistan; (iii) the prescriptions of LARP1; and (iv) the general principle that AP’s
livelihood should be better or at least remain at the present level after completion of the Project.

18
Phase two for LARP1 and all external monitoring phases for LARP2 will be carried out by the
supervision consultant

4. The selected consultant will closely monitor the implementation of the LARP and engage in the
following tasks: (i) review of the disclosure of the LARP and of the Information pamphlet; (ii)
review of the action taken by the Executing Agency (EA) to compensate the APs with particular
attention to the way this action fits the stipulation of the LARP; (iii) verification of the
compensation tallies and ; (iv) verify whether the compensation is provided thoroughly to all APs
and in the amounts defined in the LARP and in the AP contracts; (v) asses the satisfaction of
the APs with the information campaign and with the compensation/rehabilitation package
offered to them; (vi) review the legalization process and assess its effectiveness; (vii) review
complaints & grievances case; (vii) carry out an AP satisfaction survey with a 20% sample of the
APs.

5. Immediately after the implementation of the LARP the EMA will prepare a Final Compliance
Report (FCR) which will include well argued sections on the following:
i. Assessment of the way compensation was carried out in relation of the stipulations of
the LARP and the LARF;
ii. Verification that all APs have been compensated in the amounts stipulated in the LARP
iii. Assessment of the accuracy of survey and asset valuation
iv. Assessment of the effectiveness and thoroughness of the Legalization process
v. Review of complaint and grievance cases and of their solution
vi. Assessment of the rehabilitation program for severely affected and vulnerable APs
vii. Assessment of the satisfaction of the APs
viii. Lesson learned to be applied to the next projects, and;
ix. General assessment of LARP implementation and recommendations to ADB regarding
the provision of No Objection Letter to start the civil works.
